About
Not all animal lovers are equal. For example, Ophidiophobia, more commonly known as a fear of snakes, is a real and common condition. The friend, neighbor or family member who normally cares for your pets you are away may have it, and yes, even some professional pet sitter have it as well. This is not a problem you will encounter at Exotic Pet Pals. Cat and dog owners will be quick to tell you that their pets are truly members of their family. Well, exotic pet owners, like us, feel the same way about their pets. When you travel, you need to find a pet sitter who is capable of caring for all of your pets; someone who will give you the peace of mind to be away from those beloved family members. We may specialize in exotic pets, however we also love and care for cats and dogs as well. By using our many years of expertise, both personally and professionally, and by specializing in exotic pet care, we are providing a niche that is missing in the Greater Crofton area. Exotic Pet Pals offers pet sitting services to care for clients' pets and their home in their absence. We also offer wellness services for these pets such as nail trims, medication administration, and pet bird seed-to-pellet conversion. The owner of Exotic Pet Pals has close to 3 decades of experience working with animals, and has spent much of her life learning about a variety of animal species. She respects animals no matter how big or small, and will love your pets just like members of her own family. On top of that, she also is a NAPPS Certified professional pet sitter and will continue to earn CEU credits to keep and renew her certification, staying on top of all the current trends in the pet industry and in regards to pet health. *NOTE: The Reiki energy healing service listed is for pets!

I was hesitant to leave my fish, cats and guinea pigs in the care of a pet sitter after a few bad experiences but then I found Exotic Pet Pals. Their attention to detail is unmatched, I love that they visit prior to your first booking for a meet and greet walk through to make sure they are familiar with your pets and their routines.I love that they provide detailed notes and photos after every visit. They have an app that seamlessly blends booking, communication and payments into a single spot. So convenient!My pets absolutely adore their sitters, even my shy cats greet them at the door when they arrive and line up for pets. Knowing they are there to care for my pets has enabled me to travel with a lot less stress.

Weve used Exotic Pet Pals every time we go out of town the last few years to watch over our parakeets and we couldnt be happier with our experience! We love the reports Anna sends each visit with plenty of pictures, and I can relax while Im away knowing that my birds are in great hands. I would highly recommend this business, Sharon and her team really know what theyre doing!

Sharon and Anna have taken the absolute best care of my two birds while on vacation, both short and extended. I look forward to the daily updates. I am so blessed to have found Exotic Pet Pals. They have made taking vacations fun again so I don't have to worry about the care of my birds!
